The High Roller event is down to just 2 players from 53 total entries, and the two finalists are competing for a $200,000 top prize and the Playground Poker Spring Classic Champion’s Trophy – although second place will still earn a hefty $130,000 consolation prize.
Marc-Olivier Carpentier-Perrault is looking for his first big score on home turf after having posted results around the world in the recent months. He begins the heads-up duel with 3,275,000 versus the 2,025,000 of Mike McDonald, a Waterloo native who has tallied over $13 million in earnings in less than 10 years of live poker.
Both players are still very deep at the moment, with the average stack representing 66 big blinds. Blind levels are now 30-minutes long and action is underway!
